Top-of-Mind Mondays

• What’s crack-a-lackin’ nephews? Did you know that Snoop Dogg was on the Price is Right recently? Methinks Snoop is spending too much money on his greenery.

• Rest and relaxation is underrated. I took two naps, each day, over the weekend. That felt good.

• I like my Kindle more than my iPad. Maybe it’s a phase. Maybe it’s not. All I can say is, the smaller the better.

• Joe Paterno is dead. I’ll be honest, I’m really conflicted on this one. One one hand, you have a guy who did some amazing things for a lot of people. But, even in the midst of that, I can’t help thinking about the fact that he didn’t stand up when it mattered most. Here’s a great, level-headed response from one of our local newscasters.

• I grow weary of endless name-dropping. It’s unfortunate to watch good-hearted people believe the lie that you need to name-drop to get ahead in life. The reality is that it makes us look weak and petty. Know who you are. Know whose you are.

• I’ve started drinking apple cider vinegar. Why? you may ask. The benefits are wide and varied, but suffice to say it’s keeping things moving, ifyouknowhatimean.

• Pats v. Giants?Blarg. The only good that can come of this Super Bowl is watching a homeless-looking Bill Belly-check lose. And Eli winning, I suppose. Not a more underrated quarterback out there. Also, former Hawkeye T-Sash is on the Giants. I’d love to see him be a part of the Super Bowl-winning team!

• My favorite line from “We Bought a Zoo”: “Would you choose people or animals? Me too. People!” (Also, the film’s music score was done by none other than Jonsí. A please surprise!)

•Really like the guys over at BufferApp. Easy-to-use service and they retweet the crap out of my posts. Not a bad combo
